- Not to be confused with PATH.
Path is a two-dimensional esoteric programming language invented by User:masalt in Python 3.
Instructions
Path has the following instructions:
Instruction | Definition |
---|---|
└ | Faces pointer north or east, depending on the direction beforehand (unless it's facing either already). |
┘ | Faces pointer north or west, depending on the direction beforehand (unless it's facing either already). |
┐ | Faces pointer south or west, depending on the direction beforehand (unless it's facing either already). |
┌ | Faces pointer south or east, depending on the direction beforehand (unless it's facing either already). |
┴ | Faces the pointer north (if it's not already). |
┬ | Faces the pointer south (if it's not already). |
├ | Faces the pointer east (if it's not already). |
┤ | Faces the pointer west (if it's not already). |
? | Faces the pointer in a random direction. |
│ | Continues moving the pointer vertically. |
─ | Continues moving the pointer horizontally. |
┼ | Continues moving the pointer vertically or horizontally. |
█ | Reverses the pointer's direction. |
+ | Increases top of the stack. |
- | Decreases top of the stack. |
& | Pushes 0 to the stack. |
$ | Pops top of the stack. |
~ | Takes user input (string) and pushes the character ASCII value to the stack. |
# | Takes user input (integer) and pushes the value to the stack. |
: | Duplicates the top stack value. |
. | Caches the top stack value and pops it. |
, | Caches the ASCII character of the top stack value and pops it. |
% | Swaps the top two stack values. |
^ | Faces the pointer north of the top stack value is greater than the second. |
v | Faces the pointer south of the top stack value is greater than the second. |
> | Faces the pointer east of the top stack value is greater than the second. |
< | Faces the pointer west of the top stack value is greater than the second. |
J | Joins the top two stack values (B;A) |
j | Joins the top two stack values (A;B) |
p | Prints cache. |
g | Pops the top stack value and adds that item of the stack (from the back). |
r | Takes the top two stack values (A,B) and replaces item of A stack with B. |
w | Takes the top stack value (A) and waits for A seconds. |
q | Takes the top stack value (A) and caches line A of the code. |
0-9 | Pushes number at the pointer to the stack. |
× | Pops the top two stack values and pushes their product to the stack. |
÷ | Pops the top two stack values and pushes the rounded quotient to the stack. (A / B) |
± | If the proceeding instruction is +, pushes the sum of the top two values; If the proceeding instruction is -, pushes the difference of the top two values (B-A). Skips next instruction (+,-). |
= | If the top two values are equivalent, pushes 1, otherwise pushes 0. |
@ | Ends the program and prints all cache. |
